lyrics

i stay in the crib and like
2 people know me well
one of them is not me
things ain't really going swell
fell down so many times
i been sharing broken tales (tails)
bones in the closets
i would never open
bail
out
when you call it
all my niggas 'posed to fail
cryin til we soakin
up the the dough
from weighing coke on scales

covet like a holy grail
stamped as a hopeless male
wanna see me thrown in jail
or hanging like a pony tail 
we gotta move an inch
that's the only way to hitta mile
i do everything i can
just to make yall niggas smile
even if i gotta overshare
n put some pain on display
i feel mask crack n crumble
trouble flakin 
away 
hey

but was it worth it?

he should get a tat that read "relax" instead of that
shoulda focused on gettin better stats on my Equifax

shed tears for the harmed
beers in the barn
years on alarm
whoops
that's survival mode

kinda funny
it's the same reason i'm dying slow
checking my watch, surprise
it's always time to go

....tried to avoid the pale horse
which came in the form of social norms n Salesforce

flat emotions on a round earth
auto-tune singing while your lifeless body crowdsurfs

i'm making jokes to stay afloat
you taking notes?
take a dose
skin a hater's blokes
just to make a cloak

i'm trying to get my focus back
sleeping on a Yoga mat
Moody Blues, rainy days brewin'
he can soak in that

why you think you qualified to tell me how i'm 'posed to act?
connecting the wrong dots when you don't even know the facts

invested in long plots
but never did approach the black
dispose of those prone to lack

how many digits can you fit into the cock-rang?
picture it, mention it, and mint it on the block chain

they behind the spikes when the prices on the stock change
look at the goals and the roles
the boy got range

i'm Jonathan Majors with the paper and personal trainers
or the lawyers on retainers

(that's just a regular guy)
